Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) is a crucial step in biopharmaceutical manufacturing that requires the highest possible protein yield. Conventional pump systems such as peristaltic or 4-piston diaphragm pumps cause protein degradation due to mechanically induced shear of valves and tube compression. Furthermore, such systems generate a pulsating flow, resulting in non-optimal filter performance and reduced flux.
Levitronix^® pump systems are designed for demanding TFF applications where ultra low shear as well as a pulsation free and continuously controlled flow ensure the highest protein yield.
